Alright, I've got ROUGHLY $150ish USD to use for my file server. I need to buy a PCI SATA Controller / RAID Card / whatever to use with the new hard drives. I have one picked out for $24.99 with free shipping on newegg.
So for roughly $125....what's the best I can do hard drive wise? Not performance, as performance makes NO difference at all. I just need raw size. The drive will be accessed via 100Mb LAN, so it does NOT have to be fast at all. Oh, and its also being hosted on a dual 1.13GHz Pentium 3 Machine....so again, speed on the hard drive does NOT matter.
I just need the absolute BIGGEST I can do...RAID or no RAID.
